*********** APPARENTLY FROM VERICRED

I have received a phone call from someone who claims they work for Vericred to inform me that I have an account that's in arrears at an institute where I studied 11 years ago. First of all, neither I nor my parents have received any statement of account in 11 years. I am not listed on ITC and the caller told me that they cannot give me a statement as that would be charged to my account? They only had my work landline and not my cell no nor my email address or my current surname. I phoned back and someone answered in a way that does not sound like a debt collecting company - and the initial call I received was from a cellphone number and not a landline. The person was very rude and could not give me any details regarding the account that's supposedly in arrears. Last year I received a call from the same company - and haven't received any statement since? Where do these people get hold of my work landline? This is my 5th job since I've studied at the institution where I apparently have debt. It is scary what ************ can get a hold of. Very irritated and disgusted.
